Savanna Rhum Origine 1870 (70cl, 50%)

Savanna Rhum Origine 1870 blends two expressions of Savanna's molasses rum in a long-aged assemblage of traditional rums and Grand Arôme rums. Six rums from rare and old stocks were selected, each aged under tropical conditions for ten to sixteen years in French oak casks that previously held Cognac or Port. The outturn is 1,200 carafes. It is bottled at 50% ABV in a 700 ml carafe and comes in a premium box. It is neither chill-filtered nor coloured. On the nose, fruity and balsamic impressions meet molasses and liquorice, with mint and menthol freshness and a light waxy note in the background. On the palate it is full-bodied, harmonious and balanced, with liquorice particularly shaping the taste. The long finish combines fruity accents with spicy tobacco and leather notes, with the influence of the Port casks and Savalle-column distillates remaining perceptible.
